LED dash kit

Hey guys i gpt the LED dash kit off ebay...its the white bulbs..can somwone tell me how to install it..do I have to remove the dash???

 

are you talking about LEDs for the instrument cluster or the pods?

if for the instrument cluster, you can install them (with a lot of swearing) by taking the cluster hood off (two screws) and trying to get them in that way.

otherwise it takes much longer but arguably less swearing to remove the cluster.

 

yup

I think its for the cluster..so I should pull out the two screws and replace the bulbs right??

 

you can try it that way. its fiddly though.

 

i tried

i took off the top cover thing removing the two screws..but i dont understand what i should replace..looks like its complicated

this is the thing i am talking about

you will see half a dozen brown round things behind your instrument cluster, pull them out and replace the bulbs with the leds your buying

 

exactly what trav (mafi-zed) said

take the speedo cover (boot) off and look behind your speedo. i have big hands and i was able to reach the maroon coloured knobs that hold the lights. unscrew them and pull them out. replace the bulbs with the LEDs and screw them back in.

WARNING: dont drop them behind the speedo or its going to be a bi-a-tch to get them back

 

Ohhhh

Actually i removed the 2screws which r located upwards and took off the top cover..thats what i have to remove right??

 

id be interetsted in getting one of these, if they work good, i must say :worthless:

 

yeah mate thats the 'boot'.

remove that and look down the gap that is behind the cluster. there you will see...mmm cant remember how many...lets say 5.....maroon looking knobs.....twist 30 degrees in one direction and then pull them out... then take the old bulb out and the new led should slide right in mate

 

here is the thread i did after doing mine.....the pics dont come up as i have moved them

PS: my sig pic has my leds in it

here are some

 

I found 4

and installed 2 but the other two on the left are hard to reach..my hands are small as well

 

comeon dude u can do it...this is the exact same way i have replaced mine and ive done them quite a few times now trying diff styled globes lol...

theres probably a large wire bunch in the way. pull it up move it out the way a lil enough for u to reach in...

JUST MAKE SURE U DONT DROP IT its murder if u do lol...

 

Yipee

Finally i managed to get it done..looks nice with the white lights..thought of trying blue ones as well..

 

ok now post up pics of what you have

im still trying to find a led that is what i want.

atm i have white leds that disperse the light nicely but to me mehhhh they look like aqua/blue ....

post pix...do u have any heatspots...

 

Looks like aqua/blue to me as well

 

hrmm well its looks whiter than mine. only problem is u have heat spots.

meaning directly infront of the light it is BRIGHT...the rest is less light...means the led doesnt disperse the light evenly...

 

heres mine,now this is blue

 

Yup

I noticed that as well...any adjustments i could do about that???
what do you reckon??

 

nah theres nothing u can do about it unfortunatly...its the led u bought. it just doesnt disperse the light evenly...what you want is a led that had a head of a flower. 4 led lights facing outward each edge and 1 facing straight. will disperce the light nicely...
